HB + Memphis Rendezvous Ribs

[McEDaddy]

Hi all, intrigued by the HB. Has anyone made rendezvous ribs, the modified direct, charcoal well underneath the meat? If so, how did it turn out. Always pressed for time and just getting back into cooking… 90 minute ribs are so intriguing!

I have finished SLC ribs as fast as 2.5 hours on my HB Gourmet. No heat shield, ribs directly over the firebox. I enjoyed them and definitely very Rendezvous style. I rarely do them that way though because I enjoy the 5 hour outcome more. Hope that helps at least a little.

I did the Rendezvous, once. It wasn't bad, something different, as mentioned above, prefer a different outcome.

I just don’t think the fat is rendered well done rendezvous style

ecowper yeah, and as Meathead says, "They tend to be a little chewy." I would think a 3 hour hold at 150 after the cook would suffice if you wanted something you didn't have to watch the whole time.

Jerod Broussard definitely could do the trick that way. Or I’ll just keep doing ribs my way ….. 250F for 5 hours :-D

Thanks for guidance everyone.

They have lamb ribs which I enjoyed. I tried to replicate at home. Not quite as good. Not a fan of their pork ribs. Central was good stuff.
